So, this race started out normally. But after a quick 6 0r 7 laps, we experienced rain for the first time. Not only did this confuse us, but we all acted like a bunch of hogs being led to slaughter when it came to the pits. We all were confused and had no idea what was going on until it was too late. At this point we realized that it was indeed raining. Now that we cleared that up, we raced another 7 or so laps before we discovered just how wet the track was and just how important Full Wet tires would be.
After this, it became very apparent when all of the full wets started getting best laps *Carbyne Shadow* and those toward the back began to fall off terribly.
Most everyone stuck to a 3 pit strategy (due to the craziness of the rain). Whereas, I was lucky enough to be testing a new driver at the time and wound up with 5 ridiculous pits (a mix of inconvenient pits with the SuperSofts and rain and not getting the memo to switch to Full Wets)
Carbyne stole the show with best lap times and sector times. Basically untouchable on those wet shoes. Export Eh raced tremendously as well. There were lots of pits right at the end and led to a lot of disappointment for some folks who were holding some coveted podium spots.
Overall, great race but a lot of learning to be had from this one.

I am still sobbing uncontrollably in my office. My co-workers are concerned.

We've only got 1 1/2 weeks of racing left for this season! I'm pushing my designers like crazy.
Sadly, school starts this Thursday, so I don't know if I'll be coming back next season.

Awww lame, is there no other time that would work better? I'm trying to get a gauge of how we want to work scheduling for the next season.

Only my driver can start in the front and wind up in the middle(ish)!

No I think the time is perfect, but "watching" the race and all that can take up to an hour, which is valuable time.
Maybe I'll just have to set up everything anticipating the probability that I won't be there?

1 more free 2d race for me then I'm likely subscribing for a year which is just under $50 according to google's exchange rate.

Does it only last a year? I won't subscribe if that is the case.

Was at work and couldn't watch/micromanage the race. I had my guy set to switch to intermediates, not full wets, and I suffered because of it. I finished 8 places behind where I qualified. (14th to 22nd)
I wonder what would have happened with the full wet tires. My driver's second best stat is his wet weather driving...
Can't wait for next race, it's a nice fast circuit so I'm anxious to see what Massimo is capable of.

I'm glad it rained, and glad I set it up in case it rained or I never would have finished as high as I did. I had to pit for fuel with 2 laps left and was in 10th place.

Yeah if you buy points and use those to buy 2d one month at a time its way more expensive. I figure its what $4 a month so I hit my favorite coffee shop one less time and I'm good for the month.
